Chapter 199
Zhao Yi looked at the book in Li Zhuiyuan's hand, licked his chapped lips. The previous excitement and joy from their "bro two" bet instantly diminished considerably.
He could accept "bro two" choosing wrong together and dying together, but it was hard to accept that after both chose correctly, the youth got a piece of treasure more smoothly than he did.
"Ah, lost money!"
Li Zhuiyuan continued to go downstairs.
Now, the higher the floor, the greater the pressure from the high tower. The earlier they went down, the more relaxed their bodies would be.
Zhao Yi continued to chatter as he went downstairs:
"Why didn't you remind me? Like this, I could also pry out a piece of treasure."
There were only three people on the eleventh floor, and the suppression strength of the high tower was the strongest. It was very difficult to get things into their hands, but the suppression strength on the tenth floor was much weaker.
Zhao Yi himself was also proficient in arrays. Relying on the deduction from the seam of life and death, he could also try to drill a small mouse hole inside the high tower.
Even if he couldn't get anything on the tenth floor, he could go to the ninth or eighth floor. The value of a magic weapon, sometimes, still depended on whether it was suitable for oneself.
Li Zhuiyuan: "I hope you call people."
The implication was, I just hope you die.
Hearing this, Zhao Yi's expression on his face eased a lot. For no other reason, these words sounded heartwarming.
Li Zhuiyuan: "Didn't you spend most of your time doing useless entanglement and weighing?"
Zhao Yi: "What effect does this book of yours have?"
Li Zhuiyuan: "Anyway, there are only two results. When you produce entanglement, the probability ratio is meaningless, equivalent to flipping a coin."
Zhao Yi: "This book was held by that person on the eleventh floor even after death, it's definitely not simple."
Li Zhuiyuan: "Before flipping a coin, who still needs to fast for three days, burn incense, and bathe?"
Zhao Yi: "Okay, shut up! . !"
Li Zhuiyuan no longer spoke, and the chattering behind him finally stopped.
The two of them came to the first floor. Yu Miaomiao heard footsteps, turned around and looked over. The black-skirted woman beside her also did the same action.
Yu Miaomiao's gaze went up, and when she found that no one followed behind the two people, her eyes revealed a touch of surprise.
With even a little bit of brain, at this time, one should have a strong sense of doubt and unease, wondering why they didn't call people, thereby becoming uneasy about their own choice.
But Yu Miaomiao, after all, was not an ordinary smart person; she was a big smart.
The girl let out a wild laugh: "Ha ha ha ha ha!"
This laugh made Li Zhuiyuan's steps pause slightly, and even more made Zhao Yi's face freeze, almost starting to self-reflect again.
Yu Miaomiao laughed and said: "Haha, you're killing me with laughter. Don't you two want to learn from me and call people on the eleventh floor, but they stubbornly ignored you, wasted all your time, and finally didn't even have time to call people?"
Her thinking always started from her own perspective, with her own viewpoint as the main one.
She really just never thought that after standing out from the first round of the jade competition, no matter what kind of tricks were used, at least the three people should be placed on the same qualified line to view.
No, she might have really thought so, and indeed always measured people with herself.
Her discomfort came from her being a person who came out of the Dragon King Yu family to walk the jianghu.
But if the Yu family had really undergone a world-changing event, then the current Yu family was just upstarts among upstarts. It was not uncommon to cultivate such a successor.
Li Zhuiyuan ignored her, while Zhao Yi reached out and patted his forehead, forcing himself not to waste any more brainpower on this silly big girl. The two of them very calmly walked to the door and lifted the tokens in their hands.
After they entered the tower earlier, the tower door closed accordingly, and the dim light that was originally outside just projected inside.
The tokens in the hands of the three people all shone on the dim light on their bodies, and the tower door opened again.
However, outside was a hazy green, yet empty of people.
Yu Miaomiao shouted: "A Yuan!"
No response.
The pressure on Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi actually stopped increasing at this time.
Instead, the pressure on Yu Miaomiao was getting bigger and bigger, and her face was also showing distortion.
Even if she had injuries on her body, it could not be denied that her physical quality was much better than the non-martial Li Zhuiyuan and the current Zhao Yi. She should have been the one with the strongest ability to resist the high tower's pressure among the three.
This also meant that the high tower was separately pressuring her, wanting to force her to leave.
Yu Miaomiao couldn't hold on, she could only walk out, and the black-robed woman followed her out of the high tower.
After walking out, all the pressure on her body instantly disappeared. She took a deep breath and became lively again, turning to look at the two people still staying inside the tower.
It seemed that she was waiting for the two people to come out, and then properly clean them up. Some anger had already been suppressed, and it was time to settle the score.
However, Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi did not walk out the door, but still stayed inside the door.
"You..."
This time, Yu Miaomiao really sensed that something was wrong. She couldn't understand why her helper, who wasn't helping her, was placing themselves and their helper in a separate area. Who was the opponent?
Li Zhuiyuan reached out and pointed upwards.
Yu Miaomiao lifted her head and looked up. She said in surprise: "You, why are you up there?"
Yu Miaomiao was outside the tower, she could see things that Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi couldn't.
But from her reaction, one could guess that the girl's A Yuan and Li Zhuiyuan's companions should be above at this moment.
Outside was a hazy green, which was the very common emerald gloss when they came in. So, they were probably inside the emerald now.
This high tower had twelve layers, but that was only the ground level. How many layers underground, who knew?
When they came in, this was the first floor. When they went out, this place became the negative first floor again.
The tower door started to close slowly.
Yu Miaomiao lifted her head to look at A Yuan, who was lying on the ground above and knocking wildly towards the ground, then looked at the black-skirted sword-wielding woman beside her. Finally, her gaze fell on Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi inside the tower door.
The girl's eyes welled up with blood color, and her face revealed frenzy. She screamed and rushed over:
"No, don't!"
However, the pressure of this high tower's might was something even Li Zhuiyuan couldn't do anything about, let alone her.
As soon as she tried to rush in, she was swept away by the strong pressure, falling heavily in the distance.
She immediately climbed up, regardless of the fresh blood overflowing from her mouth, and continued to scream, hysterically.
Zhao Yi: "Look, she finally understands."
Li Zhuiyuan: "When a true survival crisis arrives, she will suddenly become very smart."
"Ka cha!"
The tower door closed.
The suspended pressure of might began to increase again.
Li Zhuiyuan and Zhao Yi picked up their tokens again and placed them under the dim light.
The tower door opened again.
Outside, it was still a hazy green, and neither Yu Miaomiao nor the black-skirted woman was seen.
The pressure on Li Zhuiyuan's body stopped increasing, while Zhao Yi received a double expulsion. His body was originally very bad, but he still used the last bit of strength to support himself, wanting to ask Li Zhuiyuan a question at this time:
"How could you bet so decisively?"
Although he had been mocked by the youth for wasting time earlier, Zhao Yi didn't feel that he was wrong. In that critical period, who could suddenly harden their heart and make a life-and-death decision?
He felt that daring to choose that less than one percent probability was already a very fierce bet, but he didn't expect that the youth simply didn't hesitate. After placing the bet for the first time, he turned his head and did other things.
Li Zhuiyuan said very calmly: "Because I don't believe in longevity, and even less in becoming immortal."
All the arrangements and planning here were aimed at becoming immortal.
When you can deny it from the source, the highest point, then all the means and mechanisms below will also be stripped and filtered in front of you.
Zhao Yi: "I actually don't believe it either."
Li Zhuiyuan: "You actually believe it a little."
Zhao Yi hesitated a bit, unable to refute, and finally crawled out of the tower door.
After going out, he relaxed, turned his body over, sat on the ground, facing Li Zhuiyuan:
"After we go out, we'll have a proper chat."
The tower door started to close again.
Li Zhuiyuan: "It's still too early to say 'go out'."
The face that appeared on the top floor earlier should be a character who entered A Li's dream. He said that the whole clan ascended. He only saw the preparatory link of "ascending" just now, he didn't see "whole clan" yet, and he didn't see the true ascension.
The tower door closed.
The pressure increased again. Li Zhuiyuan lifted the token, the tower door opened again, and he walked out.
"Hu......"
The feeling of the pressure on his body suddenly disappearing made people feel comfortable.
It was empty around him, except for some dazzling green light, nothing else.
Li Zhuiyuan lifted his head. He saw a layer of green translucent rock wall above.
Zhao Yi was lying on the ground face down, his face was distorted from being pressed against it. He waved his hand, making a ghost face.
Affected by the pressure he had previously endured in the tower, his chest bandage fell off, and that damaged black heart was already mostly exposed outside, still stubbornly beating.
Through Zhao Yi's layer, his gaze continued upwards. Li Zhuiyuan could see the layer where Yu Miaomiao and the black-skirted woman were located.
Here, it was truly like a not-so-perfect translucent glass multi-story house.
At this time, Yu Miaomiao deliberately pulled enough distance from the black-skirted woman, just staring at her with a vigilant look.
The girl exhausted her mind, did not hesitate to use her family's reputation to call for a helper, and now her eyes were about to turn into her most terrible enemy.
Li Zhuiyuan also saw the topmost layer. Although he could only see vague figures, he could still make out their identities from their shapes.
The one who was detached from the group, standing alone above Yu Miaomiao, constantly waving his arms, a tall figure, should be A Yuan.
As a loyal servant, he was worried about his miss, wanting to break this wall and protect his miss.
Another group was gathered above Zhao Yi and also above him: Runsheng, Tan Wenbin, Yin Meng, and Lin Shuyou.
They were originally waiting anxiously outside the tower. Who knew that while waiting, green liquid seeped out from the ground under their feet.
Fortunately, this green liquid did not possess any danger, it just soaked the ground into an emerald color.
Next, they saw Yu Miaomiao and the black-skirted woman walk out from the next layer, then the next layer was Zhao Yi, and finally their own little Yuan bro.
Runsheng took out the Yellow River shovel, preparing to dig, and Lin Shuyou took out his trident, wanting to chisel along.
Even Yin Meng took out some non-poisonous cans, seeing if they could help corrode a bit of the ground layer first.
But these actions were all stopped by Tan Wenbin.
"You look at him first."
Tan Wenbin said, still pointing to A Yuan in the distance.
A Yuan's body was originally very seriously injured. At this moment, while constantly knocking on the wall, his yellow hair was getting longer and longer, and even his face was gradually becoming beast-like.
He looked more and more like an ape monkey.
The constant smashing did not just splash fresh blood, but also broken flesh and bone fragments.
Lin Shuyou: "Even if the position is different, this kind of loyalty is indeed touching."
"Pa!"
Tan Wenbin slapped the back of Lin Shuyou's head and said angrily:
"What I mean is that people are pounding for so long without wanting their lives, and the wall hasn't even developed a pit. We might as well not waste our effort first."
"Buzz!"
The bell sound on the top floor of the high tower rang again.
That face, appeared again.
His gaze first fell on this layer of the ground surface.
Having the first experience, everyone deliberately did not make eye contact with it, but they could still perceive his gaze sweeping over their bodies, like the light touch of a broom.
Yin Meng was swept a few more times.
Finally, that gaze focused on A Yuan's body.
A Yuan stopped pounding, raised his head somewhat doubtfully, and looked towards the top floor of the high tower.
The white ape with its skull cracked open was just looking at him.
With a "thump," A Yuan continuously kowtowed in the direction of the white ape, seemingly wanting to use this way to beg it.
It was a pity that the "white ape" was not looking at him, but the one inside his body.
The white ape's gaze fell downwards, sweeping over the black-skirted woman. The black-skirted woman had drawn out her sword after the bell rang.
Yu Miaomiao had a premonition and wanted to raise her head to receive that gaze.
But that gaze simply did not sweep towards her!
The white ape became Tian Lao Tou.
Zhao Yi detected the gaze from Tian Lao Tou. He stood up, covered his chest, coughed non-stop, putting on the appearance of a sick young master.
He was originally a young master, and also sick, so he didn't need to pretend at all.
This was a kind of obedience, a kind of bowing his head, and also a kind of striving for himself.
After stopping on Zhao Yi's body for a moment, the gaze finally fell on the bottommost layer.
Li Zhuiyuan sat on the ground, placing the wordless book on his knee. Since he was idle anyway, he might as well look at the book he just got.
This book was really quite good-looking, the paper was white, the touch was like silk, it had a natural quiet fragrance, and even the sound of turning pages was very pleasant.
After perceiving that gaze, he had no interest in making eye contact with it. Instead of looking at that blank face, he might as well look at the blank book in his hand.
But that gaze stayed on Li Zhuiyuan the longest.
It seemed to be deliberately using this way to tell the youth that he was the person who entered the dream that day.
The descendant and successor of his former enemy and opponent had come, and he should naturally look at him for a while longer.
The black-skirted woman moved her hand. She still did not open her eyes, but the sword danced like flying flowers.
Yu Miaomiao shouted in a sharp voice: "Not like this, you're supposed to help me kill them, not come kill me, no, no!"
Even if the facts were in front of her, she still refused to believe all of this.
Remembering the words she said to those two people inside the high tower, at this moment, they seemed like one slap after another, hitting her face. She could not accept that she was a fool in the eyes of those two people.
It was a pity that although gazes could pass through here, sound was isolated. Otherwise, Zhao Yi wouldn't mind comforting her and telling her that before entering the tower, in the eyes of the two of them, she was just a big silly girl.
The black-skirted woman's figure disappeared from her original place, and Yu Miaomiao's figure also disappeared with her.
Zhao Yi below was clicking his tongue. The silly girl might not be smart, but her skill was indeed real and her reaction was so fast.
The black-skirted woman appeared on the position where Yu Miaomiao was previously located, and Yu Miaomiao then fell in the distance.
Only, the woman's treasured sword was dripping blood.
Yu Miaomiao lowered her head to look at her chest. A terrible sword wound had already appeared.
The woman was very strong, it was her own choice.
The black-skirted woman danced the sword flower again.
Yu Miaomiao let out a fierce scream. This time, she was not prepared to dodge, but to counterattack.
Sharp claws grew out from her ten fingers, her figure was like lightning, she pounced out fiercely, and wherever the sharp claws went, they drew out solemn light and ear-piercing breaking air sounds.
"Shua!"
The figures of both sides crossed, and they each landed.
A claw mark appeared on the black-skirted woman's face, and half of the skin on her left face was cut off with it. Only, inside, there was no fresh red blood flowing out, but turbid pus.
The people inside the high tower, even if they were preserved exactly as before death, were ultimately dead people.
Yu Miaomiao's mouth contained a smile. She saw a chance of survival. You are very strong, but you are not as strong as I imagined. Before you died, I was definitely not your opponent, but now, how much strength do you still retain from before you died?
Just as she cheered herself up and plucked up courage, in the next moment, she felt a lightness at her wrist.
She lifted her hands, but her hands fell off at this moment, leaving only two sections of bare wrists.
That heart that had just been activated, instantly, was smashed into an abyss!
The black-skirted woman waved the sword flower again. She seemed to only use this one move, or perhaps, just this one move was enough.
Zhao Yi, in the spectator seat below, was watching with great enthusiasm, thinking to himself how easy it would be to walk the jianghu if he had such a woman under his command?
Of course, this was just a thought. If he were to make such a request to such a person, he feared that the first sword would first stab him.
Yu Miaomiao started to run away, letting out miserable screams, vaguely mixed with cat calls.
However, the speed of the woman's sword was not slow down at all.
Yu Miaomiao, who originally moved like the wind, pounced on the ground completely, and her feet also detached from her ankles.
She was like a silkworm, curled up on the ground. Around her was a pool of blood formed by the fresh blood on her body.
The black-skirted woman did not go forward to check the situation, but continued to wave the sword flower coldly.
In despair, Yu Miaomiao opened her mouth, and a ball of gold, silver, and white three-color hair flew out of her mouth. This was something her grandmother had specially given her before lighting the lamp and walking the jianghu, to be used at the most crucial time for saving her life.
She knew whose hair it was, but she always refused to really admit it.
At this moment, when the hair was spat out, it turned into flames and burned towards the front.
Originally, this move was prepared to be used to deal with the black-skirted woman when she came to check her injuries, but the black-skirted woman did not come over.
The fact was that when this terrible demon fire sprayed out, the black-skirted woman appeared on Yu Miaomiao's other side, completely opposite to the direction of this flame.
There was no extra ridicule or playful thought, not even battle pleasure, only the pure goal of killing the opponent, naturally they would not fall into this crude and laughable trap.
"Hua la......"
Yu Miaomiao's head was cut off by the sword edge.
Above, A Yuan was enraged to the extreme, blood tears flowed from both eyes, and he let out an angry roar and howl.
The black-skirted woman lifted Yu Miaomiao's head with her long sword and placed it in front of her.
The woman opened her mouth, and wisps of essence gas were sucked out from inside Yu Miaomiao's skull, entering the woman's mouth.
The seam of life and death on Zhao Yi's forehead perceived a strong stimulation, because what was being sucked was not only essence gas, but also Yu Miaomiao's life grid and fate.
Li Zhuiyuan closed the book, raised his head, and looked up.
"This, is this how you all become immortal?"
